Kentucky vs. North Carolina: Game Thread

[Joneslab]

Weathered the storm. Now it's time to get everyone on the court and start making shots! Good luck folks

We weathered the storm but ironically that group defended and rebounded better than the starters.

Getting it in to Bam should be ditched as a gameplan. He can't operate against these guys and clearly they're not going to give us anything on the whistle.

It's sink or swim with the guards.

If you miss a dunk, hang on the rim a full second then release it then the ball goes in isn't that basket interference? Help me out Lighthouse.

[KYCATS01]

All the talking heads wanted UCLA then NC, hope UK pushes through.............

[George]

This officiating is GARBAGE. I hope Lighthouse comes in here to defend this embarrassing display.

Can't believe we're only down five.

There is no defense. And maybe our guys have fouled, but so have theirs, and they aren't getting called.

Literally every national Sports writer is lighting up the officials for that atrocious half. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Some of them actually questioning the officials' integrity...

[thughes]

KY shooting 38.7%

UNC shooting 50%

We are only down by 5 points. Still our game!

Yeah they need to find another way to get points close to the basket. The backdoor cuts were working there at the end of the half. Maybe some of that can loosen things up down there for him

[justford]

We need to regroup and win the second half by six.

Folks on tv don't even mention it...

[VirginiaBlue]

I love his work on the defense. He has 3 turn overs on offense. Still he is giving it all he has.

that's what I'm seeing too. can't say anything bad about Briscoe right now, even tho some of you are.

[samsdad]

The cheat is in. But we will win this game.

It's obvious that their scrubs are better than our scrubs. So we need to keep our scrubs on the bench. Gonna be hard with that their Higgins out there.

I thought our scrubs did a good job of keeping it close in the last 5 minutes.

The 3 clowns at CBS have NO problem with the calls.

[Dwight Schrute]

If it weren't for one of our "scrubs", UNC would be up 10-15.

It wasn't just the fouls, or lack thereof, but the calls about the rim...
